Hi Henry
I used to use a Company call Polymax for Viton Seals some years ago (I think the web site was polymax.co.uk) They were always helpful and had a great range of seals and "O" rings. Maybe worth giving them a try

What a result
Well done you

OK took alook at my map light cab light in the console above the Rearview mirror apart from taking a few minutes to workout how to pop it out it was straight forward. The console unclips at each side (2 trim levers used) then it dropped down and moving it forward towards the mirror, the lamps are ...

Only changed the 2 in the boot on mine as they were out anyway
All I can say is remember the same guy who designed the headlamp system had input here I will have a look at mine later see if I can see anything

I do understand customising a car but for me it has to be subtle or even not noticed unless the person seeing it is a real petrol head
When moving to the X5 it was a simple decision, the car had to be able to pull a Horse Trailerlook smart with reasonable performance and cope with mild off road ...

Morning
This is a job I did not long ago I changed all 6 Injectors (Bosch) and all 6 Glow Plugs and Controller (Beru) my parts bill including new gaskets was £1300. I got a deal on the injectors (list was £218) providing they got the old ones for refurbishment.
I could have brought refurbished ...

Yes they all do but sadly they are wrong on two counts (1) the H8 is the halo lamp on Xenon Headlamps (2) I think BMW must have a special Technician with really skinny bendy arms and fingers
On my headlamps and it seems yours my fat old fingers just couldn't get at the H1 lamp without them being ...

Morning SaphireBlack
My understanfding has always been when your sat behind the wheel Right hand side (Drivers side UK) and Left hand side (Passenger side)

The picture you posted showing the Bulb is the passenger side (left) headlamp and that is the H1 lamp, the other cover will have an H7 lamp ...

This is not one of BMW's best efforts in design and accessability
My E70 has halogen lights first winter I realised just how poor they can be I read many reports of E53's with halogen lights that were bad (both mine were Xenon) well BMW managed to somehow make the E70's worse !! My wifes Subaru ...

Plenty of wheels for sale on the Auction sites brought the 19" set (square not staggered) from Ebay when I got the E70 went and collected so could check for any cracks welds or obvious buckles £300 then brought the tyres

Hi
The first X5 a 4.4 2002 came with staggered 19" wheels you could get Genral Grabber UHP tyres back then which worked really well
then at the end of 2003 in a heavy storm a big tree came down and squashed the X5. I replaced it with another X5 a 4.6is great car after rebuilding the engine due to ...

Just my input on "Off Road" ability I am a shooting man so spend October through to the end of Jan a lot of the time Off Road in the X5 (my 3rd one) I think for 90%+ of people who own a 4x4 a rutted farm track or slippery field is as far of road as they get. After our recent winters we have seen ...

Some X5's have air bags on all 4 corners make sure your reading single axle ride height not two axle. May not be relevant but worth a check

A neighbour with a 330i had his Locking Wheel Nut Key go missing after a Tyre change, as it was weeks before he needed it and of course the Tyre Place put it back ? It was lost.
Vines in Crawley just needed his Vin and ordered him a new one not cheap but cheaper than brutalising the existing one and ...

And they still won't ???
